Netflix Blocks Michael Keaton’s Delicious 115-Minute McDonald’s Origin Story for Certain Users
In recent years, there have been several movies about the origins of popular American products. Apple released a film about Beanie Babies a few years ago, which means that we can probably expect a film about Labubus soon. Hulu released a movie about Cheetos, titled Flamin’ Hot, while Jerry Seinfeld directed an absurdist comedy about Pop-Tarts for Netflix, titled Unfrosted. This year, John Cena will star in The Matchbox Movie, which was probably green-lit because of the culture-defining success of Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie. This trend began a decade ago, with a movie that traced the origins of McDonald’s. Unlike Barbie, which positioned itself as a feminist fable, or even Flamin’ Hot, which highlighted the contributions of the immigrant population, the McDonald’s movie had fewer layers than a Big Mac. It was, quite literally, about how an ambitious businessman took a mom-and-pop operation and turned it into a massive corporation. The ambitious businessman was, in fact, the protagonist of the story and not the villain.
The businessman was played by Michael Keaton, who had been freshly nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Birdman. The film also featured Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch as brothers Richard McDonald and Maurice McDonald, who created an assembly line of sorts that significantly reduced the time it took to cook burgers. Impressed by their operation, salesman Ray Kroc (Keaton) urged them to create franchises before buying them out some years later. The movie was directed by John Lee Hancock, who previously made the war film The Alamo, and has since directed the “copaganda” movie The Highwaymen and the Se7en rip-off The Little Things.

Plenty of movies were based on plays. So whip out your program and find your seat because the quiz curtain is about to rise.
Here’s the Pro-Capitalism Movie that Netflix Has Blocked for Capitalist Reasons
The movie in question is The Founder, which grossed $24 million worldwide against a reported budget of $25 million. It earned solid reviews and is now sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 80% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The website’s consensus reads, “The Founder puts Michael Keaton’s magnetic performance at the center of a smart, satisfying biopic that traces the rise of one of America’s most influential businessmen — and the birth of one of its most far-reaching industries.” The movie also featured B.J. Novak, Laura Dern, and Linda Cardellini. However, it is among the 140 titles that Netflix has restricted access to this month for subscribers to its ad-supported tier.

Jack Black Walking Around Hollywood With A Pride Flag Is ‘Cringe AF’
Jack Black is trending online after a video of the actor strolling through Hollywood draped in a Pride flag began circulating across social media. The clip quickly sparked a heated debate, with some critics calling the moment “cringe” while others rushed to defend the “School of Rock” star and his long history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights. As the footage continues to spread online, the moment has reignited discussion about Black’s activism, personal experiences, and past statements about the LGBTQ+ community.
Jack Black Video From Hollywood Goes Viral

The viral clip shows Jack Black walking along a busy Hollywood street while wearing a rainbow Pride flag draped across his shoulders. The video appears to have been filmed by someone nearby as a small group of people followed him with a camera setup while he walked down the sidewalk.
One social media user shared the clip online and criticized the actor for the moment. “Jack Black was spotted strolling through Hollywood draped with a LGBTQ flag,” they wrote. “Dude is cringe af.”
As the video spread, several commenters shared blunt criticism of the actor. “What a loser,” one user wrote as another commenter added, “Never ever liked him. Think his movies suck.” A third critic chimed in, “I have always disliked Jack Black.”
Some Users Step In To Defend The Actor
While the criticism was loud, not everyone agreed with the backlash surrounding the viral video. Some users defended Black and argued that celebrating diversity should not be mocked online.
“Everyone has a right to their own views, but celebrating diversity shouldn’t be seen as ‘cringe,’” someone said. “A community where people feel free to be themselves is a stronger community.”
Supporters also pointed out that Black has been openly supportive of LGBTQ+ rights for many years.
Personal Tragedy Shaped Black’s Perspective

Black has previously spoken about how his family experiences shaped his views on LGBTQ+ issues. In a 2015 interview with Parade while promoting “Goosebumps,” the actor opened up about the impact of losing his brother Howard to AIDS in the late 1980s.
“I have two gay siblings: my big sister, Rachel, and my big brother, Howard,” he told the magazine. “He was a big influence on me. He took me to my first rock concert. I was 11; he was 23. He was so vibrant, creative, amazing. He shaped my taste in music.”
Black Opens Up About Brother’s Devastating Death During AIDS Crisis

Black described the slow deterioration his brother experienced during the AIDS crisis as deeply painful for the entire family. “[Death] didn’t happen quickly. We all saw the deterioration. He was only 31. So very young. We were robbed of something precious,” he continued. “It was devastating. It was hard for all of us, but it was hardest for my mom when we lost Howard. She’s never really recovered.”
The loss also influenced how Black approaches parenting his own children. “Sometimes I think maybe I’m a little bit of a helicopter dad hovering above my kids and making sure that they never are in harm’s way,” he said. “But losing a family member is the worst thing I could imagine.”
Jack Black Has Long Supported LGBTQ+ Rights
Black has also been outspoken about LGBTQ+ equality in the past. In 2016, during an appearance on “HuffPost Live,” the actor spoke about progress surrounding same-sex marriage while promoting his film “The D Train.”
The movie explored themes related to bisexuality, and Black praised the broader movement for civil rights. “It’s a good time for civil rights. … Get out of the way, oldies!” he said as he performed an impromptu dance during the interview.
Jack Black Previously Spoke Out Against Same-Sex Marriage Opposition

Black has also used his platform in the past to criticize political leaders who opposed marriage equality. During a past discussion about the global movement toward LGBTQ+ rights, the actor weighed in on former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s continued resistance to same-sex marriage at the time.
Black did not hold back when sharing his perspective on the issue. “I personally think the guy’s living in the stone ages,” Black said, per The Independent. “He’s not seeing the writing on the wall. The movement of the world is headed towards equality for all people, all sexual preferences. Come on, we are all the same in the end.”
He later added, “Yeah, he sounds like a bit of a nutter.”

Nearly Perfect Sci-Fi Thriller Is A Doorway Into Strange New Worlds
By Jennifer Asencio
| Published

The found footage genre is hit and miss: either it produces incredible thrills like Hell House LLC, or it is a bore until the big scare, like Paranormal Activity. Despite roots in found footage scenes from larger movies like Cannibal Holocaust, the genre began with the groundbreaking sleeper hit The Blair Witch Project, and there have been numerous knockoffs that have tried to capture the tone and the box office of that 1999 horror gambit.
Hostile Dimensions is more sci-fi than horror, but it uses the found footage concept to document the exploration of other dimensions the characters discover while looking for a missing graffiti artist.

What’s the logical thing to do when you find an uninstalled door in the middle of a room in an abandoned building? Take it home, of course! When protagonists Sam (Annabel Logan) and Ash (Joma West) do that while searching for graffiti artist Emily (Josie Rogers), they find out the door opens up to other dimensions.
The stunned duo are documentary filmmakers and decide to record further explorations around and into the strange door. Enlisting the help of friends and experts, they learn how the doors are used and film themselves as they pioneer new worlds. But for Sam, there is more to find beyond the threshold, and the search for Emily takes a dark turn.

Hostile Dimensions really seems like it was filmed with home equipment like GoPros and mini recorders. Unlike many found-footage films, where audiences are left wondering why the characters kept the camera rolling instead of escaping, this movie offers credible reasons for continuing to film during the action. We are constantly reminded by the characters that they’re documenting their experiences, especially when they turn to experts to research the strange doorway.
It also doesn’t fall into the trap of other found-footage movies, which document every… single… tedious… thing. Something is happening in every scene, and it uses its mockumentary format to excuse things like edits that gloss over long periods of time. It clocks in at 80 minutes and doesn’t waste a second of running time boring the audience with long sequences of people sleeping.

The movie was well received by critics because its writer and director, Graham Hughes, had already made Death of a Vlogger, another effective mockumentary horror, and Hostile Dimensions was a strong sophomore film for his resume. The praise mostly went to the good use of a small budget and the location scouting for the various settings that comprise the other dimensions. The lore and its supporting documentation are intriguing, introducing the audience to an ancient mystery hiding in plain sight, with an attention to detail spanning the ages of art and history.
It is not a perfect movie. Hostile Dimensions’ low budget occasionally bursts its seams, especially amongst some of the performers. It doesn’t rely on special effects, which are creative and practical but also sometimes betray their inexpensiveness. It’s also not exactly a horror movie, leaning more into its science fiction themes than bringing chills or scares.

Despite, or maybe because of, these flaws, Hostile Dimensions tells a story about a woman who wants to explore, even if it means leaving this world. It’s a universal tale that takes her and its audience to places best described as the uncanny valley, leaving an eerie resonance and an exciting, glorious resolution full of humor and mystery.

Virgin River Stars Who Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 8
Virgin River is returning for season 8 after several shocking cliffhangers — yet not every cast member is confirmed to reprise their role.
The hit Netflix show, which premiered in 2019, is based on Robyn Carr’s book series and follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California. That includes nurse practitioner Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) her love interest, Jack (Martin Henderson), his sister, Brie (Zibby Allen) and more. Colin Lawrence, Annette O’Toole, Tim Matheson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé and Kai Bradbury also star.
When Virgin River returned for season 7 in March 2026, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed that Marco Grazzini would not be reprising his role as Mike, telling Deadline, “He’s not coming back for season 8.”
Lauren Hammersley, who has played Charmaine since the show premiered, is also not expected to come back — at least for now.
“For me, I’m just trying to look to the longevity of the show and making sure that the characters that we’re keeping have enough story engine in them to keep going,” Smith noted. “So I can’t say there are any specific cast shakeups planned, but I think we will have to start to — as characters run their course — make some decisions and bring in some new blood.”
Keep scrolling to see which Virgin River stars are — and aren’t — returning for season 8:

Steven Spielberg Addresses Timothée Chalamet’s Comment
The heat on Timothée Chalamet isn’t fading anytime soon. With each passing day, several celebrities are weighing in on the controversy, and filmmaker Steven Spielberg has now joined the growing list.
After Chalamet joked to Matthew McConaughey during a town hall discussion hosted by Variety and CNN that nobody cares about ballet and opera, the backlash that followed was intense.
While some critics, including panelists on “The View,” blasted him for the remark, others, like Andrea Bocelli, opted to educate the young Oscar-nominated actor. Now, Spielberg appears to be throwing subtle shade at Chalamet.
Steven Spielberg Defends Opera And Ballet In Apparent Shade At Timothée Chalamet

During a panel conversation at SXSW on March 13, the legendary director acknowledged the role of movie theaters in bringing people together.
While he acknowledged that he values streaming and enjoys collaborating with companies like Netflix, he made it clear that watching in a cinema offers a sense of community.
“But for me, the real experience comes when we can influence a community to congregate in a strange, dark space where all of us are strangers,” Spielberg said per Variety.
He added that by the time the movie ends, the entire room has gone through an emotional journey together, uniting them.
“And there’s nothing like that,” Spielberg explained, before appearing to shade Chalamet. “It happens in movies, and in concerts. And it happens in ballet and opera, by the way.”
The EGOT holder’s response prompted laughter and cheers from the audience. “And we want that to be sustained,” he continued. “We want that to go forever.”
Andrea Bocelli Shared a Corrective Lecture with Timothée Chalamet
Spielberg’s remarks come a few days after Andrea Bocelli responded to Chalamet’s ballet controversy.
As The Blast reported, the world-renowned tenor said that he was surprised to hear such a statement from someone he considers a fellow artist. In his view, dismissing classical art often stems from not having fully experienced it.
Bocelli further argued that these art forms are far from outdated. Instead, they are living artistic languages that speak to the human desire for truth, emotions, and beauty.
The Italian singer added that he believes Chalamet would soon recognize that opera and dance come from the same emotional roots that actors draw on in film and theater. Bocelli even extended an invitation to a concert to the 30-year-old actor if he ever became curious about the art form.
‘The View’ Hosts Slammed Timothée Chalamet As ‘Shallow’

While Bocelli chose the correctional approach in response to Chalamet, the hosts on the hot topics table were not so subtle in their reaction.
During a recent episode of the show, co-host Sunny Hostin did not hold back, heavily criticizing Chalamet.
“I’m offended and disappointed in what he said. I didn’t realize he was that vapid and that shallow,” Hostin slammed, per The Blast.
Guest co-host Sheryl Underwood addressed the backlash, suggesting that it may have stemmed from Chalamet speaking without fully considering the impact of his words.
Timothée Chalamet Previously Called Ballet And Opera a ‘Dying Art’

As criticism continues, an old video has resurfaced showing that his dismissive opinion toward classical performing arts isn’t new, further fueling the outrage online.
According to The Blast, a fan shared a clip allegedly recorded on October 1, 2019, on TikTok explaining that the actor made a surprise appearance at their theater to promote “The King.”
In the resurfaced video, Chalamet can be heard saying: “I started getting the sense it was maybe opera or ballet or something, it’s kind of like a dying art form or something.”
As expected, several social media users flooded the post with comments. Some critics questioned his strong stance, with one fan asking, “Why does he feel so strongly about opera and ballet????”
The ‘Dunes’ Actor’s Controversy Reportedly Taking Toll On His Relationship With Kylie Jenner

With the backlash against Chalamet intensifying, insiders say the drama is affecting his personal life.
Per The Blast, sources revealed the heat is particularly spilling over into his romance with Kylie Jenner, who feels unfairly dragged into it.
Another insider shared that while the Kardashian-Jenner family is accustomed to public storms, Chalamet lacks the same resilience and has taken the criticism to heart.
“Kylie knows how the media storm works,” the source shared. “They’re trying to work through it. But right now, things are definitely tense.”

Could There Be a Sullivan’s Crossing, Virgin River Crossover?
Sullivan’s Crossing and Virgin River share a major connection that means there’s a chance for a crossover between shows.
While Sullivan’s Crossing and Virgin River don’t exist in the same place, they are based on separate books by Robyn Carr. The CTV series, which premiered on The CW before being licensed to Netflix, follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan), who must return to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. As she spends more time in Sullivan’s Crossing, Maggie reconnects with estranged father Sully (Scott Patterson) and finds love with Cal (Chad Michael Murray).
In addition to Kohan, Patterson and Murray, Sullivan’s Crossing stars Tom Jackson, Andrea Menard, Dakota Taylor, Amalia Williamson and Lindura.
Virgin River, meanwhile, centers on the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and her love interest, Jack (Martin Henderson). The Netflix series also stars Colin Lawrence, Annette O’Toole, Tim Matheson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sarah Dugdale, Zibby Allen, Marco Grazzini and Kai Bradbury.
Hollingsworth, 41, weighed in on a potential crossover, exclusively telling Us Weekly in March 2026, “We have to, right? I think that’s perfect and that would be amazing. I love that romance drama is really having a comeback and it’s gotten such momentum there.”
In a separate interview, Grazzini, 45, showed support for the idea.
“We obviously share fan bases. So that would be an awesome treat for everybody involved,” he noted to Us. “It would be fun to see what storyboards end up and what story lines end up happening. I’m down for that.”
Allen, 45, was also intrigued by the concept, telling Us, “I feel like that could happen. I could see that happening. I love a crossover situation.”
After watching several novels be adapted on the small screen, Carr previously opened up about the process.
“I love to set my stories in fully fleshed-out locations. When the setting of a story is vivid and realistic, the reader is transported to that place and time, and they want to get to know the people who live and love there,” she wrote for BookBub in 2020. “When I’m imagining the setting for a novel, I’m looking for a place so vibrant and dramatic, it plays almost as a character in the story. It lives and breathes.”
The author acknowledged the connections that existed between her shows — specifically Virgin River and Sullivan’s Crossing.
“Of course, in every town there must be houses, businesses, at least one church, medical and emergency facilities, and a gathering place — usually a diner, coffeehouse, or bar and grill,” she added. “There are always outlying farms and ranches.”
Carr continued: “But there are two things that bring a town to life for me. One is beauty. Rugged beauty. The towns I write about must not be cute — they must be places of majestic, rustic and remote beauty. And they must not be easy places to live.”
Virgin River and Sullivan’s Crossing are both streaming on Netflix.

Raven-Symoné Talks Her Mount Rushmore And Fans Debate
Looks like Raven-Symoné is spilling some tea about Disney Channel’s biggest legends — and yes, she’s not holding back. In a new ‘Stepping Into the Shade Room’ interview, Raven weighed in on the network’s unofficial Hall of Fame, sharing who she thinks truly deserves a spot in Disney Mount Rushmore.
RELATED: Yup, That’s Me?! Social Media Is Crackin’ Up After Raven-Symoné Couldn’t Recognize Her Own Song During Podcast Game (WATCH)
Raven’s Disney Hall Of Fame Choices Are Pure Tea
Fans have long debated which former Disney stars belong on the ultimate list, with names like Hilary Duff, Zendaya, Keke Palmer, Shia LaBeouf, and Raven herself all thrown into the mix. But when asked to name her personal top four, Raven kept it real. “I would say me, Hilary, Shia,” she said, before surprising host Thembi Mawema with her fourth pick.
“No, not Miley,” Raven clarified when Miley Cyrus’ name came up, noting that she wanted to refer to stars who were on the platform closer to her era. Instead, she honored the late Lee Thompson Young, star of ‘The Famous Jett Jackson,’ explaining, “He is no longer with us, but he was the first Black show on Disney… He definitely deserves a spot.” Young’s career spanned multiple Disney projects, including ‘Johnny Tsunami,’ and later roles in ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘Akeelah and the Bee,’ before his tragic death in 2013.
I Mean… Raven’s Disney Resume Is Next Level
Raven’s own Disney legacy is legendary: she headlined 100 episodes of ‘That’s So Raven’ and reprised the role in 122 episodes of ‘Raven’s Home.’ She’s also made appearances in spinoffs like ‘Cory in the House,’ ‘The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,’ and ‘Bunk’d,’ starred in DCOMs like ‘The Cheetah Girls’ and the ‘Zenon’ movies, and lent her voice to ‘Kim Possible.’ Meanwhile, her fellow “Rushmore” picks made huge marks too: Duff dominated ‘Lizzie McGuire,’ LaBeouf became iconic as Louis Stevens in ‘Even Stevens,’ and Shia even lent his voice to an episode of ‘The Proud Family.’ With a resume like hers, if that’s Raven’s Mount Rushmore, you better believe we’re taking it seriously.
Nostalgia Hits Hard After Raven’s Picks
Fans have been all over X, reacting nonstop to Raven’s Disney Mount Rushmore picks. Many say it’s HER Mount Rushmore, so she can choose whoever she wants, while others point out that she’s honestly honoring the OGs, so it’s nothing personal. Either way, the thread is full of nostalgia, with everyone missing their favorite childhood shows and reminiscing about the good old Disney days.
